With Monfils beating #18 Humbert, there are now *THIRTEEN* men's seeds out in the first round, which equals an all-time Grand Slam record. #Wimbledon
With #3 Zverev crashing out to Rinderknech, there are now *TWELVE* men's seeds out in the first round already.

Per the ITF, that's a #Wimbledon record.

The men's record at any Slam is 13 (2004 AO), which is still possible to reach or pass here since many men aren't done yet.

Alexandra Eala after losing to Joint in Eastbourne

*talking through tears*

“It’s my 1st WTA final. It’s a big deal for me. For my country too because it’s historic. It’s the first time any Filipino has done anything. That’s why I’m so emotional. But it’s only the first.” 🥹
